You have a "piece of your father" in that Luger, and will think of him when you look at it. Thanks for sharing.
Oddly enough, he never shot the Luger.
It was tucked away in the back of a drawer.
I know he had it since at least the early '50's but I didn't know he still had it.
He shot target for years in the 40's and 50's with a Hi Standard Model A and his carry gun was a Colt Army Special revolver in .38 Special.
In the years between the late 50's and now I think I saw it twice.
So, I'm more attached to those 2 than the Luger.
Wonderful piece of machinery though.
I plan on shooting it a few times and then selling it to someone who will treasure it more than I do.
